2. To promote within the public domain an interest in pastel art through sponsorship of exhibits and activities concerned with pastel art.
.......................................... 3. To publish and otherwise disseminate information on pastel art through news media, brochures, monographs or other innovative means.

4. To become a repository of information concerned with historical and current data relating to the art of pastel painting, techniques and materials.

5. To encourage the expanded use of the pastel art form and techniques,
a- by working a dialogue with art museums, organizations, societies, schools and colleges having an art interest or an art curriculum

6. To expand artist participation in local, regional and national art exhibits oriented towards pastel art.

7. To promote the exhibit category of pastel art in all professional exhibits displaying mixed-media art works.
